DRAFT ADVICE AND POSITION RANK

Draft Erik Gustafsson as a weekly fantasy starter in 2019-2020. His 158 projected fantasy points puts him at #14 behind Roman Josi and ahead of Keith Yandle. He has averaged 2.75 fantasy points in his past 79 games, which is more than our projected per game average. He is projected to average 2 fantasy points. He is slightly underrated if you compare his ownership based rank with his projection rank. At 95%, he is the #16 most highly owned defenseman. Erik Gustafsson is expected to come up short of last season's #8 fantasy position rank.

WEEK 1 AND 2 FANTASY OUTLOOK

Erik Gustafsson is projected for 1.92 fantasy points in one game the rest of the week in week 1 which ranks him as the #95 projected center for the week and a starter for most fantasy teams. His projected fantasy production is the same as his rest of season per game projection. He is ranked above Noah Hanifin but behind Jonas Siegenthaler the rest of the week. Week 2 will be better based on projected rank (#37). He is projected for 4.12 fantasy points.
